SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX40B15-w-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFPGLX40B15-w-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module is housed in a silver casing, weighs 20 g and uses the SFP interface for hot-pluggable integration into compatible network equipment. It supports optical transmission over single fiber using separate wavelengths for transmit and receive, and is suitable for standard 1000BASE-BX-D class applications up to practical link distances determined by fiber and connector quality.

Advantages

The module follows MSA SFP mechanical and electrical standards for broad interoperability with switches, routers and other SFP-capable hardware. It offers a compact SFP form factor, low weight and support for optical transmission at 1.25 Gbit/s. The transceiver is designed for stable long-term operation and includes features common to modern SFP optics, such as support for digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host supports it, enabling remote monitoring of parameters like temperature and optical power.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links in metropolitan and campus networks
• Interconnects between SFP-capable switches and routers
• Fiber uplinks for storage systems and aggregation points
• Longer point-to-point connections where LC simplex connections are used

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Optical mode: single-mode fiber with separate transmit and receive wavelengths (BX-D style)
• Connector type: LC simplex (single-fiber transmit/receive arrangement)
• Typical application class: 1000BASE-BX-D / 1.25G Ethernet and similar protocols
• Color / housing: silver metal casing
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPGLX40B15-w-BO by inserting it into an empty SFP port on compatible network equipment while the host device is powered on or off according to the host manufacturer's guidance. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord matching the required transmit and receive orientation. Configure link settings on the connected devices as needed for 1.25 Gbit/s operation and verify link status using the host system. If digital diagnostics monitoring is required, enable or query DDM/DOM via the host to read parameters such as optical power and temperature, provided the host supports this feature.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility by confirming that your network equipment supports SFP modules and, if applicable, BX-D single-fiber operation. Use quality single-mode LC simplex patch cords and proper fiber management to achieve optimal range and signal integrity. Handle the transceiver and fiber connectors with care to avoid contamination; use dust caps when ports are unused and follow standard ESD precautions during installation. For diagnostic monitoring, make sure the host system supports DDM/DOM to access real-time module parameters.
